What are the impacts across your value chain?

Revenue

Demand Foresight starts with a better baseline forecast and makes it easy for your organization to build consensus. Everyone in your organization — including partners and suppliers — can see the demand forecast and easily update new information such as price changes, supply constraints, and promotions. With Foresight’s Demand Management tools, your company will:

Drive New Revenue from existing customers

Create New Sales growth through program management

Shape demand to optimize margins

Seamlessly integrate promotions into the forecast

Utilize downstream data like POS and VMI data to adapt to changes in demand and create shared value with customers and vendors

Inbound Logistics

Our unique value chain focuses on the raw and produced materials needed for your manufacturing process to ensure you are maximizing your purchasing power. Our forecasting and planning software starts with a better baseline forecast that helps you appropriately increase or decrease your materials to run leaner operations. Using Demand Commander’s Inbound Logistics tools, your company will:

Drive down purchasing costs

Reduce average materials inventory

Reduce demand latency

Replenish and Deploy on demand signals – faster and more efficiently

Operations

Efficiencies naturally lead to increased profits because they reduce waste and duplicative operations. Most demand planning software dictates to a company how it needs to process its business. Foresight’s operations solutions are molded and personalized to support your processes and priorities – not the other way around. Using our forecasting and planning software, your company will:

Increase capacity

Decrease work in process

Reduce waste and re-work

Increase working capital

Reduce finished-goods inventory

Outbound Logistics

Once inventory has been sold, it needs to be shipped. The deployment planning capabilities of Demand Foresight tell you what you need to know to get the product moved from where it is produced to where it is sold. If you supply Foresight forecasting and planning software with freight payment information as an input, it will help you calculate the rate and mix data for where you are spending your freight dollars.

Optimize Freight budgets

Drive down carrying costs

Reduce expedited orders

Decrease Lead Times

Customer Service

Building a customer base means more than selling your product. Businesses succeed because customers come back – and most of us want to buy from companies that provide the very best in customer service.

Demand Foresight allows you to collect, store, and aggregate data so you can incorporate key metrics into the core areas affecting your customer relationships. Using POS tracking and sales analysis, Foresight’s service and maintenance solutions can also provide data-supported recommendations on future purchases, show customers how much inventory they are carrying, create better forecasts, and model future promotions and events.
